So get in touch if you need any advice, support, information and guidance on health and wellbeing, or to let us know your health and social care concerns.

Let’s get through this together and stronger, and make sure we look after those not as strong.

Welcome to Healthwatch Stockton-on-Tees

We are here to make sure your views on local health and social care services are heard.

Healthwatch Stockton-on-Tees will work with local people, patients, service-users, carers, community groups, organisations, service providers and commissioners, to get the best out of local health and social care services.

This doesn’t just mean improving services today, but influencing and shaping services to meet the needs of the local communities, tomorrow.

Healthwatch England 'Because We All Care' Campaign
